I went to pass a semi and a pickup truck followed me into the passing lane.  Both lanes were clear ahead for at least a tenth of a mile.  As I got to the front of the semi, we reached an exit off the right lane.  The Q7 slammed on the brakes - not slowed down, it literally slammed on the brakes.  Luckily I reacted to hit the gas pedal to override the cruise control and the pickup truck driver reacted by slamming on his brakes.  But a simple pass could have resulted in a disastrous accident solely because of the vehicle.  I had some of these issues earlier in my trip, but not to the degree of the above incident.  It was most common when passing near any intersection, including exit ramps and emergency vehicle cross-overs.  An intersection icon showed up and the vehicle slowed down - sometimes gently, sometimes more forcefully.  It appears to be operating within its design parameters.  I reported the issue to the dealer, but I am currently across the country.  I am awaiting a response.  I found the settings to turn off predictive control and am testing the system to see if this works.  But if the system is operating as designed, there appears to be a flaw if predictive control is active.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q7","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
